Conquering the Mind 02


No great warrior has ever gained ground on the battlefield before gaining ground in the territory of the mind. Conquer yourself and you will conquer the world.   

It’s a warfare tactic to study the war zone, before going into combat.  Study your mind. Find out times, locations, and terrain when you are the most vulnerable; then execute a plan of action.

Shelter yourself in moments of hostility, avoid unfriendly terrains, and inch forward when the coast is clear of conflict.

Just like a deer wouldn’t try to reason with a hungry lion, you shouldn’t try to reason with a hostile mind. Wait it out and you will conquer it.

A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
-Buddha
